Got an email from Jay. It's a little better news this time:

I get to beat Luc this time *does a happy dance*

"Mark is doing well guys, he is much more conscious and smiling and saying a few words. They said he may have some speech problems because of the area they operated but it should be temporary. He seems comfortable and nice and relaxed. Told him it was Friday today which confused him, seems he has no memory since the surgery. I also told him I am keeping you all updated and that your all thinking the best for him which made him smile. Think he wanted me to let you know he is thinking of you too. I was going to stay the night again but when I asked him he said no, so won't have any news on him until later tomorrow. He really looks like hell, but he does look better too, so don't worry as I know he wouldn't want anyone worrying about him. I will let you all know how he is doing tomorrow, I don't think he will be home Sunday like he hoped but he should be home soon. Jay. "

I don't care what Mark wants ... I'm still gonna worry about him and be grumpy .

That is wonderful news. What a relief.

Good to hear he is doing better.

I haven't been here in three days, and was shocked to read the news.

Now you can start breathing again.

All my best.

More news from Jay:

"Hi Guys, Mark is doing well he has sat up a little today and had some water, he is also talking some more but is still struggling a little. He is feeling ok just very tired and he is hoping to be home next week. The doctor is very happy with how he is doing and he is now on the high dependency unit which is better than intensive care. They hope to sit him out later tonight for a short while and start him eating tomorrow. So he should be home soon, not soon enough for him as he is missing everyone. I will see him tomorrow and will let you know how he is. Jay."

Mark also sent me some words. As much as I love hearing from Jay--especially when it is good news--there is nothing like seeing Marks own words. He says he "sounds stupid" when he talks and was worried that might come across when he writes. It doesn't. All the words he sent me were the most beautiful, most brilliant words I've ever read.

That's Greeeeeeat!

I am so relieved and happy for for Mark and you.

Take care Luc, and try and get some sleep.

YAY!!

Hope he continues to recover quickly and completely!

YAY!!!!!!! & WHEWWWWW!!!

Jay continues to keep me posted on how Mark is doing:

"Hi all, Mark is really doing well, he is eating and drinking and managing to walk around his room. He has also had most his drains and stuff removed, I wont go in to too much detail about that other stuff. He is still very tired and feels weak after doing very little but that is due to his body healing. They changed his dressings today and he saw his head for the first time which didn

That is excellent news, Luc. Thanks. Can't wait for Mark to be back posting here in person.

Great news!
